SALT WATERPROOF POCKETESTER
FOR POOLS
CODE 5-0078
QUANTITY CONTENTS CODE
120 mL Calibration Standard, 3.0 ppt 6005-J
1 Salt PockeTester 26094-38
To order individual reagents or test kit components, use the specified code
number. NOTE: If a 500 mL container of the 3.0 ppt Calibration Standard
is needed order Code 6005-L.
PRECONDITIONING
Remove the electrode cap. Soak the electrodes for a few minutes in alcohol
to remove oils.
CALIBRATION
The Salt Tester should be calibrated before use. The tester should be
calibrated on a regular basis. Once a week is recommended.
NOTE: The Salt PockeTester measures in part per thousand ppt which is
1 part per thousand (ppt) = 1000 parts per million (ppm)
Example: 3.1 ppt = 3,100 ppm
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1. Open the battery compartment lid (end with the lanyard loop). The
two white buttons are Increment (INC) and Decrement (DEC)
Calibration keys.
2. Rinse the electrode in deionized water and then rinse it in the
Calibration Standard (6004).
3. Place the electrode in a small container of the Calibration Standard.
The cap of the Tester may be used for this. Fill the cap half full. Make
sure the sensor is fully immersed.
4. Press ON/OFF to turn the meter on. Wait several minutes for the
display to stabilize.
5. Press the INC or DEC buttons to adjust the reading to match the
Calibration Standard value (3.0 ppt).
6. After 3 seconds without a button press the display will flash three
times and then show “ENT”, indicating that the meter has accepted
the calibration standard. The meter will then automatically return to
the measurement mode.
7. Replace the battery cap.
TESTING PROCEDURE
1. Remove the electrode cap and fill half full with sample to be tested.
2. Press ON/OFF to turn the meter on.Place the electrode into the
sample to be tested. Make sure the sensor is fully immersed.
3. Wait for the reading to stabilize. The meter will automatically correct
for temperature changes but for the best results, the temperature of the
sample to be tested and the calibration standard should be the same.
4. Record the reading.
5. Press ON/OFF to turn the meter off. Rinse the electrode in deionized
water. Replace the electrode cap.
NOTE: The meter will automatically shut off after 8.5 minutes of
nonuse.
HOLD FUNCTION
Press the HOLD key to freeze the displayed value. Press HOLD again to
release.
CHANGING BATTERIES
1. Open battery compartment lid.
2. Remove the old batteries and replace with fresh batteries. Note that
the polarity of the batteries must match the markings in the battery
compartment.
3. Recalibrate after a battery change.
METER MAINTENANCE
• To improve performance, clean the electrodes by rinsing them in
alcohol for 10-15 minutes.
• Replace all batteries if low battery indicator appears, or if readings
are faint or unstable.
• If drift is experienced, periodically let electrode fully dry and start
over.
• Replace electrode if needed.
